bumping up the jolting postbut one question first, if both your hands are in a socket, how do you dial the phone?

ok serious part though. while on effexor i had a lot of jitteries and twitches and jolting. just thought i'd mention that and see if its a common link. i know henry hated effexor, it has also been evil for me. i was at the sleep doc this week and changed back to celexa. he said effexor is great for 8-9/10 people, but really not great for the rest

For me Effexor was great... until I had to get off of it. That was the worst nightmare ever... so bad that I wish I'd have never gone on it in the first place.

I do that too. Sometimes I talk with family members as I'm falling asleep as though they were part of the dream. Sometimes I start dreaming just before I fall asleep. My family is used to it. They always say, "Whatever!" At least I have nice dreams and the early sleep stage hallucinations are pleasant. I do jerk awake as I'm falling asleep. Have you ever snapped awake in the middle of the night and run to the kitchen thinking you were late to work? ...on your day off? My family is used to that, too. My daughter just says, "Go back to bed, Mom!" and it seems to break the spell. However, it is prudent to always wear pajamas when you go to bed. Thank goodness we didn't have company over. One time I woke up in the middle of the night, got dressed and drove all of the way to work. When I got there I realized that it was Saturday and I had dreamed it was Monday. That only happened once. I now have an alarm clock that shows the day of the week, which is very helpful to someone with narcolepsy. I think everyone "jolts" once in a while when falling asleep. I've seen lots of non-narcoleptic people do it. I've also seen pets do it.
